"Obi-Wan! Obi-Wan come look at this!" Annaline called excitedly.
Obi-Wan jogged to stand beside Annaline in the alleyway next to a polished speeder. "What is it Ann?" he asked.
"This is a Jedi speeder."
Obi-Wan scratched the top of his head thoughtfully.
"The entrance to the alley is too blocked up for a speeder to roll in here. And you've gotta have some major skill to drop this thing in here from the air. It's such a tight squeeze" Annaline went on.
"Wait! You don't actually think…"
Annaline nodded looking almost amused.
"What's it's serial number?"
"J81767K23C96."
Obi-Wan whipped out his commlink. He spoke into it quietly for a few moments then putting it away turned to Annaline. "It appears this speeder is missing. It was never checked out." Obi-Wan sighed. "I can't believe that Anakin would jack a speeder. He's a prankster, yes. But this?"
"Obi-Wan hush! Let is go. Now I'd do this but I suppose you'd be more effective seeing how you are the knight here, not to mention Anakin's master. You would be much more successful in following Anakin's Force trail."
Obi-Wan didn't protest, only closed his eyes in concentration.
'I hope you learn something from this Knight Kenobi' Annaline thought as she watched her friend.
Anakin tightened the grip on his lightsaber. He hadn't even registered the movement of his hand from his side to the hilt of the 'saber, so intently focused was he on the two hooded men before him. He didn't understand why these Force sensitive, though un-Jedi, beings wanted to train him but by now he didn't seem to find a reason for why he should object to their offer. From the demonstrations they had given him they seemed very Jedi-like and certainly they were masters of the Force. Maybe they could help him.
"If I agree to train with you guys will you let me see my mother?"
"Of course" Darth Sidiouse replied smoothly. "You will gain such power as you go through your training. You will be able to free your mother and all your friends back on Tatooine."
"Wizard! Hey can I ask you guys something? Why do you always wear your hoods up?"
"In time you will learn" Sidiouse answered lightly.
"Ok. I'll umm train with you guys I guess" Anakin fumbled. His hand relaxed the grip on his 'saber slightly.
"From now on you will refer to me as 'Master'" Darth Sidiouse proclaimed, his pleasure evident in his voice.
Anakin swallowed.
"You will learn the ways of the Force. All the aspects. Even those that the Jedi had never, would never, show you" Sidiouse said, his voice getting deeper as he spoke.
"The Dark Side?" Anakin guessed anxiously.
"You are perceptive, boy" Darth Slithiouse praised in his hissing accent.
"But the Dark Side is evil!" Anakin protested. "Only the Sith use the Dark Side!"
"The Dark side is powerful!" countered Sidiouse. "The Jedi blind themselves by refusing to except that simple truth and embrace the power that it offers."
"And yet the Dark Side shows itself even in the Jedi" spoke Slithiouse.
Anakin shifted confused and disbelieving eyes to the man he knew as 'Sam'.
"What do you think Jedi Kenobi is doing at this very moment?"
Anakin thought of his master…former master. A glimmer of guilty hope lived in his heart that Obi-Wan was looking for him. He had always been fond of his master. Always had tired to win his approval and affection. Anakin decided to speak of his hope rather then voice what he feared, yet believed, was true. "I suppose he's looking for me."
Darth Slithiouse shook his head sympathetically. "I'm sorry, Anakin but I'm afraid he's too busy choosing another padawan, the kind he always wanted, to be concerned with such…trivial matters. Now tell me what sensitive, light-loving, caring master would do such a cold thing as to let his charge run to no where in a dangerous large city?"
Anakin just stood there, unable to respond in any way, as he felt hope slip away as he gave into the coldhearted lie.
